Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] WINNING.........
We were spoiled by the "D" litter, Dragonslayer, Destiny and Dakota.
They were all finished by 16 months.
Destiny was Winner's Bitch at the national and number two select. She
entered the national, and finished that day. Behind me in Specials
was Dave Rinke with the next year's Grand Victrix. Then the next
following year Dave judged the National and gave Destiny her second
Select. I showed her to Select both times myself.
Dakota was Reserve Winner's Dog at the National the same year as
Destiny going Winner's Bitch, (1982) and he also went Select another
year.
Dragonslayer, after he finished, went to live with Marie Bavaqua, and
before he got to the National, he died. The year Dakota was shown at
the National the first time, Dragonslayer went with Marie to Texas to
see her brother and missed that National.
Someone sent me the record of Dakota producing for the Futurities, and
it astonished me. I have since lost it. If someone knows it, it would
be interesting to read. Maybe only to me, but who is more important
than me?
It was not the great judging, my handling or fortune. They were
fantastic animals.
Or, at least that is how I remember it. Can that be 34 years ago? It
seems like yesterday. And we all know what a terrible day yesterday
was.
I could be wrong.
